Benefits

Pentair Thermal Management’ ability to engineer and integrate multiple technologies with its expertise in construction and commissioning heat management systems resulted in a world-class, safe, reliable, and efficient heat trace sulphur pipeline with the following benefits:

The Tracer skin-effect heat tracing system not only minimized the number of circuits, but also resulted in better heat transfer and low temperature differential between the pipe and cable sheath, thus leading to a safer longline heating design.

The finite element analysis and Raychem control and monitoring solutions ensured that the sulphur temperatures did not go outside the tight control temperature range under normal operating conditions.

The fibre-optic distributed temperature sensing system provided continuous monitoring of the temperature along the entire length of the pipe. This helped to locate hotspots along the length of pipe during the re-melting process and in turn avoided excessive pressure generated by melting sulphur.

Multi-power heat delivery mechanism and multi-layer insulation systems not only optimized the total operating costs of the longline heating system but also contributed to shorter re-melt duration.

By assuming total responsibility of the heat management system, Pentair Thermal Management ensured that the project was completed on time, safely and to the satisfaction of the customer.
